Kenny Pickett appeared fired up when talking to the media on Wednesday, even talking about how he feels the Steelers are underdogs, but Bills edge rusher Von Miller is having none of that talk.

Pickett was asked about the Steelers heading into Buffalo and being two-touchdown underdogs, but the fiery rookie does not see the Steelers as going into the game punching from below. Instead, Pickett is ready to lead the charge and pull off the upset against the 3-1 Bills.

It’s the attitude in which you go about it,” Pickett said. “You guys and everyone else think we’re underdogs, but we don’t. We’re going to go in there with some confidence. We know how great we can be when we’re detailed and we execute at a high level.”

However, Miller saw the quote in a live stream that he conducted. His response to the quote was that no one looks at spreads and that Pickett should simmer down. For Miller and the BIlls, it is like they are preparing for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and nothing different or special.

Who thinks you’re underdogs, bud,” Miller questioned. “Stop it, Kenny. Don’t try to get crazy on us, man. Just come in and play the game. Why is he looking at the spread? Nobody looks at the spread of the game. We’re just getting ready to play the Steelers. Don’t try to get fake mad. Nobody thinks you’re underdogs, Kenny. Don’t do it.”

The 14-point spread that the Steelers face is the largest in their documented history. It is a historic undertaking for Pittsburgh, but one that the Steelers seem to want to prove wrong. It will require a great performance from Kenny Pickett and the rest of the team in order for Pittsburgh to win. And one of those keys will be slowing down Miller on Buffalo’s defense.
